Avanti J-26 XPI: High-Performance Centrifuge for Precision Separations
The Beckman Coulter Avanti J-26 XPI centrifuge is an advanced, versatile instrument designed to meet the demanding needs of modern laboratories. With its high speed, precision controls, and user-centric features, the Avanti J-26 XPI sets the benchmark for efficiency and reliability in sample separations across a wide range of applications, including biopharmaceutical research, clinical testing, and industrial workflows. This centrifuge is engineered to deliver maximum performance while ensuring safety and ease of operation.
The Avanti J-26 XPI boasts a speed range of 100 to 26,000 rpm, providing the flexibility to handle various sample types and separation techniques. For applications requiring elutriation, the centrifuge offers a specialized speed setting range of 0 to 5,000 rpm, allowing precise control in cell separations and other delicate tasks. Its innovative design enables precise adjustments, with speed settings in 10-rpm increments, or equivalent relative centrifugal force (RCF) values in 100 × g increments, ensuring accurate and repeatable performance.
The speed display of the Avanti J-26 XPI offers real-time feedback on rotor performance, showing the actual rotor speed with exceptional accuracy—within ±10 rpm for speeds up to 10,000 rpm and within ±0.1% for speeds exceeding 10,000 rpm. This precise monitoring helps ensure optimal sample conditions throughout the centrifugation process.
Timing flexibility is another standout feature of the Avanti J-26 XPI, with a time-setting range of 1 minute to 99 hours and 59 minutes, or continuous operation for prolonged runs. The centrifuge also features the ω2t setting (up to 9.99 × 10¹⁴ radians²/sec²), which enables control of accumulated centrifugal effect, a critical feature for applications that require consistent results over long run times.
The integrated display provides real-time tracking of run progress, indicating either the remaining time in timed runs or the elapsed time during continuous operations. This makes it easier to manage workloads and schedule processes efficiently.
Maintaining sample integrity is critical, especially for temperature-sensitive materials. The Avanti J-26 XPI excels in this regard, with a temperature control range from -10°C to +40°C, making it suitable for a variety of sensitive biological and chemical samples. Its refrigeration system uses Refrigerant 404A (HFC), ensuring environmentally safe operation. The centrifuge ensures rotor temperatures are maintained within ±2°C of the setpoint after equilibration, which minimizes thermal damage and helps maintain the viability of samples during centrifugation.
The Avanti J-26 XPI is engineered to handle the rigors of high-throughput operations. Its 51.3 cm (20 in.) rotor chamber provides ample space for various rotors and accessories, and its Friction Reduction System (FRS) enhances energy efficiency by reducing wear on components. Customizable acceleration and deceleration rates (from 1 to 10 minutes) give users control over the centrifugal force applied to their samples, preventing damage to delicate specimens.
Durability and safety are top priorities in the Avanti J-26 XPI design. The 6.1-cm (2.4-in.) thick structural foam door with steel plating ensures the centrifuge chamber is secure during operation. For additional safety, the system is equipped with noise-reduction features, operating at 57 dBa even at maximum speed, providing a quiet working environment. Moreover, the centrifuge’s surface is coated with polyurethane enamel, while critical areas like the control panel feature a durable polycarbonate coating, making it resistant to wear and chemical exposure.
